Extrait: Les bataillons envoyes de Paris en Vendee comptaient neuf cent douze hommes. Chaque bataillon avait trois pieces de canon. Ils avaient ete rapidement mis sur pied. Le 25 avril, Gohier etant ministre de la justice et Bouchotte etant ministre de la guerre, la section du Bon-Conseil avait propose d'envoyer des bataillons de volontaires en Vendee; le membre de la commune Lubin avait fait le rapport; le 1 mai, Santerre etait pret a faire partir douze mille soldats, trente pieces de campagne et un bataillon de canonniers. Ces bataillons, faits si vite, furent si bien faits, qu'ils servent aujourd'hui de modeles; c'est d'apres leur mode de composition qu'on forme les compagnies de ligne; ils ont change l'ancienne proportion entre le nombre des soldats et le nombre des sous-officiers.

Il eut ete difficile de le dire, car il y a toujours une sorte de soir dans de si sauvages halliers, et il ne fait jamais clair dans ce bois-la. Le bois de la Saudraie etait tragique. C'etait dans ce taillis que, des le mois de novembre 1792, la guerre civile avait commence ses crimes; Mousqueton, le boiteux feroce, etait sorti de ces epaisseurs funestes; la quantite de meurtres qui s'etaient commis la faisait dresser les cheveux. Pas de lieu plus epouvantable. Les soldats s'y enfoncaient avec precaution.
